PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting a varied April lineup that mixes racing, horror, strategy, and action across Extra and Premium tiers. The latest catalog update includes Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Squirrel with a Gun, and The Casting of Frank Stone, along with several other additions that will become available on April 21.
Sony is also expanding the service with The Crew Motorfest, Football Manager 26 Console, Warriors: Abyss, Monster Train, and Wild Arms 4 for Premium members. The selection gives PS5 players most of the new releases, while some titles also support PS4, making this one of the broader monthly catalog drops in recent memory.
What is coming to PlayStation Plus
The April catalog is built around a mix of recognizable franchises and smaller releases that target different player tastes. According to the lineup, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members will be able to access the following games when the update goes live:
- The Crew Motorfest
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
- Football Manager 26 Console
- Warriors: Abyss
- Squirrel with a Gun
- The Casting of Frank Stone
- Monster Train
- Wild Arms 4, available only to Premium subscribers
The rollout date is set for April 21, giving subscribers a clear window for when the new catalog will be ready to download.
Platform availability and version details
Platform support is split across the new additions, with The Crew Motorfest, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Warriors: Abyss, and Wild Arms 4 available on both PS4 and PS5. The rest of the monthly lineup is limited to PS5, which means some subscribers on older hardware will have a smaller pool of new games to try.
There is also one important detail for Horizon players on PS4. Instead of the remastered version, PS4 users will receive Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, which still brings the core experience to last-gen consoles.
Why this month stands out
This month’s catalog leans into variety rather than a single genre focus, which can make it more appealing to a wider subscriber base. Racing fans get The Crew Motorfest, strategy players can jump into Football Manager 26 Console and Monster Train, while horror fans have The Casting of Frank Stone waiting in the lineup.
The lesser-known games may also draw attention from subscribers looking for something different. Warriors: Abyss is described as a fast-paced hack-and-slash roguelite from Koei Tecmo, while Squirrel with a Gun offers a lighter third-person shooter experience from an indie team of two developers.
Games generating the most attention
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is likely to be one of the biggest names in the batch because of its long-running popularity and strong brand recognition. The remaster gives PlayStation Plus another headline title, especially for players who may not have revisited Aloy’s original adventure in a while.
The Casting of Frank Stone may also become a notable talking point because of its link to Dead by Daylight and Supermassive’s horror style. The reference material notes that the game fits PlayStation Plus well, especially for players who enjoy cinematic horror and have been waiting for a reason to try the Dead by Daylight universe in a new format.
